FIZZING FOUNTAINS FATE.

A Divine Vigorously Denounces il,
and says IL Must be Done Away
With.
Rev. l.. Condo. one Of Rockford
leading expounders of the divine word.
delivered discourse from his pulpit
recently which has stirred up to a state
of moderate excitement, the sellers OF
soda water in that city. He denounced
the soda water fountain in unmeasured
terms, and the following extract from
his address will not be embarrassing
The modern soda fountain came into
being about twenty-five years ago as q
sort of compromise with temperance ef
for, against strong drink. While it sub
stituted mild. acidulsted drink for that
which was alcoholic, it did not touch The
money profit and subtle power of the So
cial drinking habits that cause a large
part of the difficulty We have IN dealing
with the saloon curse. 1t sccustoms our
youth TO the habit of treating to a social
glass. 1t creates an unnatural thirst
that cannot be satisfied with pure cold
water, aud renders its patrons more sus'
ceptible to the temptation of stronger
drink.
In many of our larger cities the French
intoxicsnt, sbsinthe. is used IN the prepa'
ration of some of the more popular soda
fountain drinks. As the t, importance agi
tation progresses against the modern ss'
loon the devil finds more and more oppor-
tuuity to ply his hellish trade through the
soda fountain. When we try to shut hin
up by putting the bung into the whiSkey
Darrell. he is sure to came out in the fz7
of soda fountain.

It should be q serious and oft considered
VIXEN they have to punish a child the fault
which they strive to correct would have had
no existence but for them It is not merely
Of faults due to bad training that l am speak
ing. nor even solely of faults directly inner
tied Doubtless many parent laws on stripes
following strictly the precepts of that scarcely
successful child trainer, Solomon, where, if
justice were done. stripes should fall upon
him for her, for women as well as men offend
by being unJustly severe>. Doubtless also it
happens repeatedly that parent corrects Sc
verelv in a child the very faults and foibles
in which the child precisely repeats the par
ent.
But apart from either case, the parent,
whether father or mother, should remember
that for faults which are neither due to de
fectlye training nor to direct inheritance, but
have been inherited indirectly from grand
parents and great-grandparents they vet are
| in such degree responsible that at least they
should limit punishment to what is strictly
necessary for correction. You may see in a
child perhaps the violence or the sullen tenn
per. or the perverSity, or the want of veraci-
ty, as the case may be, which cbaracteri2es
not either of the parents themselves, but may
he recognized in this uncle or that aunt, or
may be traceable to some grandparent or
-grandparent.
Yet the parent has no right to he angry
with the child for this defect, merely because
it has thus skipped generation or so. You
will see mother perchance inherting a for
tunate nature, placid, equable, self con
trolling temper, from one parent, while her
children manifest wild and hayward DISPOSE
| tons inherited through her from her other
| parent. Or in divers other ways some ataviS-
tic popularity of temper or disposition may
| manifest itself. In such cases, or even when
peculiar1ty is presented of which no known
record exists as having characterized either
| the fathers or the mothers family, take it
that the parents are bound to show no less
| consideration than where their own faults are
| strongly thrown in their children, for it has
been through them, though not from them,
| that the unhappy PECULIARLY of character has
| been derived Richard A Proctor in Globe

To-Day. Election In Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, Dec. 5-An election for Mayor
and other municipal officers OF this city will
take place tomorrow and the campaign. which
closes tonight, has been one of the most excit-
ing in Louisville's history. The Republican can
didate. Mr.. Samuel L. Avery Is opposed by Mr.
Charles D. Jacob. ex-minister of the United
States to Colombia, and Judge w. B. Hoke,
both Democrats. Mr.. Jacob has thrice served
the city in the capacity of Mayor. and
has powerful following. The failure of the
Democrats to nominate a candidate due
TO the known determination Of Mr. Jacob to not
submit his claims to a convention, and the Dem
ocratic county and city executive committee
gave this as their reason for not calling one.
During the last weeks of the campaign Hoke de-
veoped great strength. while Avery's hopes de-
pend upon the course Of the large Republican
vote of the city. The followers Of each are con-
fident. and the result is most uncertain. A
committee appointed at a recent meeting Of the
best citizens, held to devise means of preventing
bribery at the polls has succeeded IN raising So
500 to be applied rewards to those parties
who assist in securing convictions and Mayor
Reed has sworn in 800 extra policemen for the
occasion.

The Benefits of High License.

New YORK Evening rost
The letter which published yesterday
about the working Of the Minnesota high
license law in a small village of that State
would furnish material for first rate temper
tract 1t showed that in a village of about
one thousand inhabitants, which had fifteen
liquor FALCONS before the law went into effect,
the high fee of $500 had closed eleven perma-
nently, with prospect of closing moro at
the end of the year. This not all that has
been accomplished within the five months since
the law went into effect The amount of drink
ing has been diminished. and drunkenness,
which was very common under the old sys-
tenn, is now very rare. The saloons all
closed Sunday, the streets are orderly. and
the nights quiet Then. too. the payment
in advance of a $500 fee makes the license
holder conservative. aud he is careful to man
age his business in an orderly manner, to guard
himself against loss Public sentiment is
impressed with the benefits of the system that
not a corporaI's guard be found in the viii
laee in favor of its repeal. The revenues of the
village have been so increased that the improve
ment OF its streets has been begun Our
respondents conclusion WAS that high license
lis uu mixed good" So far observa-
ton has gone and We have watched the subject
very s-ly, there has DOT been a single experi-
ment with high license which has not accom-
plished similar results.

Soon after Mr. Gladstone began to selling
chips from the trees he had chopped down, at a
fixed schedule of prices an inland revenue Off
Ger concluded that the Grand Old Man and his
son. having opened business with British and
Irish people, it was desirable that the tax de-
rived by her Majesty from such operations
should be placed beyond possibility of loss.
Accordingly q request was forwarded to Haw
arden for a log The order was executed with
promptitude and dispatch. thus establishing the
bona fide character of the business. The next
move the part of the Somerset House
functionary was to forward the usual form for
the declaration of income arising from trade
to the unsuspecting ex Premier. The conse-
quences are unknown; but the form has not
yet been returned to the income tax authorities.
